Cogent’s Beef Impact encompasses all the data we have collected in the last decade. Our strong Beef Visions Programme is a testament to Cogent’s motto Tried, Tested, Trusted and is renowned worldwide. Cogent Beef Impact has been formulated with the Dairy farmer in mind, to push the growing industry forward and make a positive impact on profits made from Beef calves.

The Cogent Beef Impact (£CBI) is a combination of the Ease of Management Impact (£EMI) and

Market Value Impact (£MVI), these financial values have been derived from literature reviews and market research. This research provides reliable information that highlights key strengths of individual bulls and allows Dairy farmers to identify bulls that are specialists for desired traits. We know from experience that not all Dairy farmers have the same priorities with regards to Beef bull selection, therefore using this innovative new tool, bulls can be more suited to Dairy systems.

MEASURED TRAITS

Detailing each trait measured. Calf colour only applies to British Blues.

BEEF AVERAGE

Average figures which apply to all breeds.

TRAIT VALUES

Figures for each trait that have been calculated from Beef Visions data.

£EMI capitalises on live and vigorous calves born without assistance.

Selecting Cogent Beef sires ranking highly for £EMI gives Dairy cows the best

chance to have a profitable lactation.

£MVI optimises values achieved for Beef calves bred from the Dairy herd. Using Cogent

sires with a high £MVI will help increase prices achieved and reduce time taken for

calves to reach optimum sale weights.

£CBI combines £EMI and £MVI to give the average value of that sire’s calves compared to the national average. High £CBI

sires are well-rounded, providing the perfect combination of easily managed calves that achieve high sale prices.
